Subsequently, Montage Technology fully exercised its over-allotment option, securing additional net proceeds of approximately HK$1.043 billion.

Financially, Montage Technology reported revenue of 5.456 billion yuan for the full year 2025, a substantial increase of 49.94% from 3.639 billion yuan in the previous year. Net profit for 2025 reached 2.236 billion yuan, rising 58.35% from 1.412 billion yuan a year earlier. After excluding non-recurring items, net profit was 2.022 billion yuan, up 61.95% from 1.248 billion yuan.

For the first quarter of 2026, revenue came in at 1.46 billion yuan, representing a 19.51% year-on-year increase from 1.222 billion yuan. Sales from the interconnect chip product line, a core business segment, amounted to 1.417 billion yuan, growing 24.4% compared to the same period last year. Notably, revenue from four new products – MRCD/MDB, PCIe Retimer, CKD, and CXL MXC chips – collectively reached 269 million yuan, surging 93.8% year-on-year. These new products now account for 19.0% of the interconnect chip revenue. In contrast, sales from the Jindi product line declined to 42 million yuan, a decrease of 48.2%.

The company's gross profit margin for the first quarter of 2026 stood at 69.8%, an improvement of 9.3 percentage points from the prior-year period.

A key beneficiary of this strong performance is Huangpu River Capital, which has maintained a long-standing relationship with Montage Technology dating back to its privatization from Nasdaq and subsequent return to the market. The capital firm has been a significant strategic shareholder since the privatization, notably making two separate investments in the company during the pre-IPO stage, making it the only domestic institution to do so. Huangpu River Capital continued its support through the company's listing on the STAR Market and its subsequent secondary listing in Hong Kong.

To date, Huangpu River Capital holds significant positions in nearly 50 companies with market capitalizations exceeding 100 billion yuan, including prominent names such as Montage Technology, Horizon Robotics, Beijing Yitang Semiconductor, StepFun, Paxini Perception Technology, Zhongqing Robot, Digua Robot, Pinduoduo, WuXi AppTec, Illumina, and WoFei ChangKong. The firm's investment strategy focuses on high-tech frontier industries like semiconductors, AI infrastructure, embodied AI, biopharmaceuticals, aerospace, and controlled nuclear fusion. Its sustained involvement with Montage Technology exemplifies its core investment philosophy of "heavy investment in leading companies with multi-billion valuations combined with deep industrial empowerment."

Montage Technology operates in the high-barrier core segment of data center interconnect chips. It interfaces with global DRAM and CPU platform suppliers upstream and has deep partnerships with major memory module manufacturers like Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron downstream, ultimately supplying AI servers and data centers for top-tier global cloud service providers. As the AI computing race intensifies, driving higher demands for memory bandwidth and interconnect speeds, the need for high-performance memory interface chips and advanced interconnect solutions between CPUs and DRAM becomes critical. This trend is directly fueling demand for the company's DDR5 sub-generational iterations and new products like PCIe and CXL, leading to both volume and price increases.

As a leader in the AI interconnect sector, Montage Technology possesses significant growth potential. Its deep penetration in the DDR5 market and the accelerating adoption of its diversified interconnect product line are key factors driving its performance in the current AI boom. Future developments, including progress in DDR6 product R&D, the scaling of the CXL ecosystem, and the commercialization of new businesses like PCIe Switch, will be crucial variables influencing the company's valuation trajectory.
